Could that be a candidate for a 920 kit? If so, someone might be interested in those barrels. Shame to toss them if there might be some use for them. Just a novice question, I have no experience in that conversion.
 
Mega paperweight. It could be fixed, but not for my old pile of bolts.... I do have my scruples.

Best plan is to place on the porch for wifey to use as a flower pot.

No unfortunately not because it's a 750 barrel
 
A couple of years ago I ordered a crankshaft from NEB for my goldstar. It arrived poorly packed and one end sticking out of the box.
Save your cylinders for it's fins. And keep the hardware. Someone somewhere could use it for fin repair.
 
OK, I've put on my flameproof suit gloves and goggles in preparation for the responses, so here I go..

If the broken edge was carefully filed or ground to a nice straight edge and then given a smooth 45° chamfer why couldn't it be used (for road use) ? the break goes no higher than the conrod relief so where is the issue? Maybe a little bit of piston rock ?

Yeah you would probably get away with it but in the back of your mind you'd be worried about it (every time you hit the redline):)
